The Office of Government Relations is ÎÞÂëרÇø's primary liaison with city, regional, state, and federal governments. Through direct contacts with elected officials, as well as through relationships with local, state and national community and educational organizations, the office represents our students, faculty, and staff.
Our office provides ÎÞÂëרÇø with an enhanced presence in the region, educating the external community about university priorities and increasing visibility and funding opportunities in areas where the university's expertise matches regional and state needs. In working with local, state and federal entities, the office seeks opportunities to collaborate with government agencies and external organizations to build ÎÞÂëרÇø's capacity to help meet the needs of our region and the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
